    The Mazda brakes were a noticeable improvement, but not as much as I'd thought they would be. I'm sure that'll change with the 25mm Master cylinder and SS lines going in soon... Never enough time to wrench :hitler:

    The engine bay isn't too sexy. Samco hose and one of those KA Motors CF CAIs. Once the engine is done and swapped I'll put the COP kit on and typical black wrinkle coating.

    Suspension: H&R 29664 springs, Bilstein sports, GC Touring plates up front, Rogue engineering RSMs, 10mm rear spring pads, ST sways, M3 CABs, Z3 steering rack.

    Soon to have the rear end done with 3.91 LSD, AKG 80A SF bushings, AKG RTABs, camber/toe kit, MZ3 diff bushing, rebuilt half-shafts. Muffler pic above of me spraying the rear subframe w/some paint. Muffler goes on Friday, will post video.

    I snagged the matching rear seat from Janderson, hopefully it shows up soon along with my Luke 10" subwoofer box.

    Still debating on whether or not to have it re-sprayed when I get back from the motherland next spring. If i do, it'll get iS skirts and lip.

        what? and have that opening in the middle...no. for a "temporary iS lip"/wannabe iS lip for $10, this isn't bad. and who are any of you? nice car OP.

            I like that tip, I have been looking for one like that, that isn't already attached to a muffler for a while.
